Popcorn Hour launches A-400 streamer for €289 with ‘studio-quality’ 3D video processing

DNP Syabas Popcorn hour

If you're a streamer who shuns plastic disks and their ilk, but still wants 3D, there's good news: Syabas has announced the Popcorn Hour A-400 network media player. Thanks to a dual-core video processor, the box can mulch through 3D Blu-ray content (ripped, presumably), while also supporting studio-level features like detail enhancement and debanding. Like its A-300 predecessor, the streamer can dock a hard disk for content storage, and connects to your network via ethernet or optional WiFi. Other connections include an SD card reader, HDMI 1.4, eSATA and USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 (pending confirmation). On top of giving you access to your own content, the Syabas Apps Market brings YouTube, BBC's iPlayer, and 90 or so other free or premium channels. It'll hit stores in October with a €289 price tag, so if that sounds like your bag of popcorn, see the PR for more info.

Buttered Popcorn Vodka Gives Society Drunk Moviegoers

I hope you liked my use of the word “moviegoer” in the title, since it is a real word. Just like “perfooligan,” a word that describes someone who is the perfect hooligan – the epitome of being a moron. (I take that spot, if you were wondering, so don’t even think about it.) This Buttered Popcorn Vodka opens up so many possibilities! Too scared to watch the Saw movies? NOT WHEN YOU’RE BOOZED OUT OF YOUR MIND! You know what – let’s just go crazy right now. We’re going to make some Toaster Strudel, and it’s three in the morning, and it’s not even three in the morning, because the only time I see is TOASTER STRUDEL TIME. “How many?” How many times I vomited or how many bottles of popcorn vodka?

You know, this is the weirdest thing I’ve posted about in a while, and I make some weird posts. I put a picture of a forty year old man in lizard body paint on my Tumblr, and guess what? SO MANY REBLOGS. I took a tip from Charlie Sheen, and it turns out that being BLAZED all of the time is the best time for creativity. *Tries to balance a shoe on someone’s nose*

Please, my friends, drink this Buttered Popcorn Vodka responsibly. Don’t make a fool of yourself as I did in the last couple of paragraphs, and never…. ever… use Twitter while you’re intoxicated. Those things shoot out into the internet-o-sphere, and you can’t get them back. EVER. That picture of your special area is probably on every Twitter feed in the state by now – even Anthony Weiner is laughing at you, and his last name is an informal term for male genitalia.

You can get the Buttered Popcorn Vodka for $13 at a place called Party All The Time And Drive Cars Into Swimming Pools The Party Source, if you’re into that kind of thing. I’d much rather that you didn’t waste your life by drinking it away, so I’ll give you a few articles to feast on instead: the Beard Cozy for your beer cans and Star Wars Water Bottles. I just saved you thirteen bucks, friend.

R2-D2 Popcorn Bucket and Mug

r2d2 popcorn and mug 650x352 R2 D2 Popcorn Bucket and Mug
Created especially for the re-opening of the Disney Star Wars exhibit in June of 2011 and in limited editions is the Disney Star Wars R2-D2 Plastic Popcorn Bucket & Drink Stein Set R2 D2 Popcorn Bucket and Mug. Of all the indignities Artoo has suffered, being made into a popcorn bucket has to be among the most humiliating. And also pretty freakin’ cool, I’d love to sit on the couch and eat popcorn out of R2′s body while watching Empire or Jedi. Not as cool as being able to drink a beer out of R2D2 with the R2 mug on the left, but cool enough. R2 beers, the Force is strong with that one, amirite?
